Formerly Feral Friday -

Um...Hi, It's me Parker with a message.

I hated my life as a feral kitty. It was hard and cruel. I know I am a very lucky kitty. Oprah is asking animal lovers to unite. Find out why it's important to know where a puppy really comes from before you take it home. More »

Today, Oprah Winfrey is going to do something very good. She is going to educate a lot of people on the horror of puppy mills. You can read more about today's show here. I think it's wonderful that someone with her influence is going to speak out on this awful practice. Lots of beans watch her show and maybe with her help, more doggies will be saved from a life of torture and cruelty. It's one thing to not have a home and have to learn how to survive as a feral. It's another thing to have to live out your life as a prisoner in terrible conditions. I salute Oprah for doing this. She even said she would never buy another doggie from a breeder. All of her doggies will now come from a shelter! Have a great weekend everykitty!

ParkerYesterday we saw on Oprah's show the promos for this one being shown today on puppy mills. We saw in the promo how Oprah was near tears over the treatment of animals under such conditions. Since Oprah is a big animal lover (I think she is a woofie bean) I think her message will be heard by alot of other beans who normally would not have known about such cruel and barbartic conditions. Some people may not know that Oprah just lost her beloved woofie Sophie this month with cancer. I wonder if that is not why she addressing this issue. We plan to tune in and watch.

How wonderful that Oprah is doing a show on this! Puppy mills are just horrible. :( We don't agree with her about breeders, though. Our humans HAD to buy us from breeders, because our dad is so terribly allergic to furred kitties, and Sphynx just don't end up in shelters, especially over here in Germany where we are still very rare. Many breeders do a lot of wonderful things to support their breeds, animal charities, and animal welfare.

It is very good that Oprah is doing this. My Mommie has seen several puppy mills first hand due to an EX-acquaintance (she stresses the ex part) owning an online website that advertised puppies. The website was horrible and Mommie also thinks the so called breeders were horrible too. Only sick people do this sort of thing.

This is wonderful that Oprah is having a show about these terrible puppy mills. They have been going on for years and years.I think there are responsible pure breeders, you have to go and check out their facilities, and see if they meet your standards for a good pet.My beans are allergic to regular kittie furs, so the rex kitties are much better.Happy friiiiiday yippppeeee

More people should adopt. It's scary how many fuzzy children get put down everyday just because no one wants them. Just look at the Pedigree commercials (that's a woofie food) that always make Mommy cry. We are proud to say that two of us were foundlings (Samwise and Jack) and the other two were rescued (Beaux and Dante).

Puppy Mills are evil, evil, evil. Mommy just cries when she sees all that on tv. You're right Parker, it's bad enough to be feral, but it's worse to be in a puppy mill. We hope Oprah does a lot of good for the cause!

I am glad Oprah is doing a show on animals. I won't be able to watch it because it would make my Mummy so sad she would spend days sobbing, so we support animal causes with money, but we can't watch the horror that some animals have to go through. I'm glad Oprah can educate more people though!

Oh, I didn't like being feral either! I was living under a BBQ and it was November here in Almost-At-The-North-Pole! But those puppy mills are terrible! We're glad even the only pet store in town gets all their kitties from the rescue people!

Mommy says some breeders are good, she likes her friends who breed pomeranian woofies. They only let their girls have puppies once a year and only if they want to and the boys catch them, and they all have free run of the house and sleep and play with their people and they sell their puppies but only to people they decide would make good mommies and daddies for those puppies and only if they get their hoohaectomies and ladiegardenectomies. Oh, and Happy Birthday Powder and Puff!

~Persephone (wowo that's a lot of 'P'! heeheehee!

~Happy Birthday, a little late Puff, Powder!

Fresh air makes us all crazy too, But Persephone bites me all the time anyway, so I'm not sure it makes a difference!

Parker, we didn't get to watch the Oprah show, but we read about it thanks to your linky. Mommy was all leaky eyed when she was done reading. Then she grabbed us and gave us hugs. She darn near sucked all the fur off'n our heads kissing us. We are glad that someone like Oprah took up a cause like this.

About Us

I was a perfectly wonderful little housekitty that liked to share my daily adventures. I lived with a wonderful family that includes three kitty-sibs and a dog (he's not so bad for a canine). I loved HAM!!!, my Daddy, sunspots, naps, fake furry mice, catnip, snuggles, my enclosed deck and you! In the fall of 2011 I was diagnosed with Cancer. Cancer sux! I left my perfectly wonderful life to become a Bridge Angel on May 24th, 2012. I am missed by my 'rents very much, but with my blog living on, so will my memory.
